Not the fastest sell out every, but impressive none the less! 50,000 Xiaomi Hongmiphonesold out in just under 4 minutes!
Each time Xiaomi, or any other Chinesephone maker, reports it has sold out 10,000’s phones in just minutes is really drives home just how fast the Chinesesmartphonemarket is growing! It’s a wonder that the market is complete saturated, which it shows no sign of being as Xiaomi have managed to sell 50,000 Hongmi today.
The Xiaomi Hongmi is a 799 Yuan ($130) quad-core Android smartphone with 8 GB memory, 1GB RAM and a Samsung 8 mega-pixel rear camera. The current version of the Hongmi is only compatible with China Mobile’s 3G network, but a new version of the phone will offer compatibility with WCDMA networks.

the new system of queuing up to be able to buy one is a mess.
you can get inside the store to purchase one only if you are lucky, that explain why 50 000 pieces was sold out in more than 3 minutes.
it took me half an hour to get inside the store and order a xiaomi m2s 16gb.
Check on their site but there’s nothing stated about WCDMA version.
If the WCDMA version truly is coming, I might pick it up on my Shenzhen/HK trip next month. Quad-core phone for less than 250 bucks? Why not 🙂
